Growing Family? Why a MA Home Addition Is a Better Option Than Moving
The world is made up of all kinds of people. Some prefer to shun spouses and/or children and enjoy a carefree, nomadic lifestyle in which they pull up stakes and move when the mood strikes. A far more common lifestyle choice is to partner up and have kids (or pets). A common problem with this lifestyle is sometimes a home works well for awhile, until you begin adding kids and/or pets and it becomes too crowded. When that happens, you face a dilemma: stay and suffer on, move on or add on. Here are three reasons the latter option is the best option.
The Process of Moving is Not Fun
Your home is where you build memories. Home addition remodeling contractors in Norwood can help you hold on to those memories. When you pursue home remodeling in Massachusetts rather than moving, you don’t leave anything behind. You don’t have to decide what to bring with you and what is dispensable. Instead, you are making more room to create more happy memories!
Remodeling contractors can help you expand your home.
A Home Addition Is Expensive: Moving Is More Expensive
Reputable remodeling contractors in Norwood will not hesitate to admit a home addition is a significant investment. A home addition in Norwood is not a fast job either. You’ll commit time and money to the process.
You’ll probably commit far more time and money to the process of moving, however. If you move, you will have to sell your existing house, which means you’ll have to make improvements and repairs to attract buyers. You’ll have to spend time finding a new house, making an offer and qualifying for a loan. You’ll have to pack, transport and unpack your belongings. You’ll have to arrange for someone to watch your kids or pets while you find a house, negotiate financing, pack and move. It’s exhausting. If you got a great deal on your existing home, you’ll probably pay much more for the mortgage on your new home.
If You Love Where You Live, You Won’t be Able to Duplicate It
If you live in a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home and decide to move, you absolutely can find a home that will work for you. Beyond that, it’s a gamble. Will you end up with neighbors you love? Will you discover your new neighbors are never home and leave their barking dogs outside at all hours? Will friends from your old neighborhood make an effort to stay in touch when it’s not as convenient? Will you ever feel truly at home in your new house as you do in your current one? You might or you might not. It’s a risk. Are your willing to take it?
